Question

In espn fantasy football what is the wr/running back slot for and how should i pick one?

Answer 1

you get the option of putting a running back or a wr in this position, so when you are choosing someone to put in this position, choose between who is the best player there between running backs and wide receivers

Answer 2

That is called your "flex" spot, because you have the flexibility of using either a running back or wide receiver.

In general, it's best to use a running back in your flex spot because they get more touches, typically 15-30, compared to 5-10 for a WR.

If you are in a league that rewards kick return yardage, a players like Devin Hester (a WR) can be a very sneaky, worthwhile flex play.
